Treehugger | These webmasters have turned what was an epithet from forestry workers into a site with a wealth of information on how to lessen your carbon footprint. Articles, video and radio links instruct and encourage you on your journey. Look at plans for the Zero Carbon House in Scotland and all the green building info. The "How to Go Green" link is especially helpful; click on it and you can see how to "green" your dishwasher, recycling, water use, gifts, cleaning, etc. ♥ ♥ ♥

EnviroLink is a nonprofit online community that unites hundreds of organizations and is dedicated to providing comprehensive, up-to-date environmental information and news. It doesn't tell you what to put on your lawn, but it will link you to every type of energy and scores of sustainable-living and environmental-ethics topics, to name a few. Key in your ZIP code to find farmers markets, family farms and other sources of sustainably grown food in your area. ♥ ♥

The Daily Green | My favorite feature of this site is the Weird Weather Watch, where you can view photos of interesting climate changes and wacky weather patterns. A bonus: Submit and share photos of your own. There's also advice, through a blog, from leading experts in environmental organizations. Calculate your carbon footprint while you're at it. ♥ ♥ ♥

The Green Guide | This creation of the National Geographic Society gives guidance on making green choices, whether you're designing a backyard or a bedroom. Topics from mattresses to printers to how to grow a pesticide-free lawn are covered by both articles and videos. Better yet, find out what to do with that old toilet you have lying around. (Don't we all have spare toilets lying around?) ♥ ♥

National Geographic Environment | Another offshoot of National Geographic, this site looks at the big-picture topics, such as global warming, natural disasters and habitats. It provides advice with its "Going Green" link, organized by home, school, work and community. The photos are beautiful, of course. ♥ ♥

Home Energy Saver | This site, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, is designed to help consumers identify the best ways to save energy in their homes and to find the resources to make the savings happen. Grab your gas and electric bills, key in your ZIP code and go. ♥ ♥
